TELEPHONE HABITS. Dlffrrr»<•«»• of Italhm CttnUMl f» Xnt*i*>u» < .»uutinnlilr«. In the ortt't* of the ureal tMephonv companies MUitiatlcs are kepi from wi>k*b charts ure plotted allowing how the telephone l» used In the different exchange* at different hours of the day. The convenient tulking iUHtrumint la very little employed lu early i morning or late In the evening, but during Ui» working day the rhe ant fall of the curves that represent the fluctuiitloua In the number of calle make* an entertaining study. Among many other facts these plot-1 ted curve* reveal the great differences that exiat lu the bualneaa ctwtoma of American citlaa. A* comparison. • for example, of the charts of the lieoad Street exchange. New York, nod the main exchange, Chicago, on uluiont I any given date will prove, what In generally known, perhaps, that Chicagosun put In a longer If uot more strenuous day than New Yorkers. The "traffic curve" In the western metropolis begins to rise about 8 o'clock and reaches its forenoon maximum of calls about l». The "load," aS It Is designated by the telephone engineers, stays heavy through the morning hour*, dropping at about 1 to the noou mlul mum. which is universal, ami then mounting well up again through the ( afternoon until o, after which It faits rather gradually till 8 o'clock. A characteristic curve of the great downtown New York exchange, which ; includes about nil the offices of the t Wall street district, reveals that business meu in Gotham go to their of flees a full hour later than in Chicago. The highest peak is reached at 1J o'clock. The noon hour apparently begins a little earlier than lu Chicago, though the lowest point of the noon depression is reached at exactly the same time. Evidently more New Yorkers go home shortly after luncheon. for the afternoon load 1* relatively not so high in New York us in CUI cago. The curve also dro|m more rapidly through the afternim. and at 7 o'clock less business is being done by belated officials than must be the case In the neighborhood of the Chicago main exchange. Such differences ns exist between New York and Chicago appear in the curves of other cities. In general it may be said that the tendency in th* eastern cities is toward shorter boms than prevail lu the west. Boston Washington very closely follow I'eYork in their telephone habits, while the average day's curve of Cleveland or Denver is not far different from that of Chicago.

His statement regarding the merit of I Dr. Caldwell’s V I (LAXATIVE)' I Syrup Pepsin! will be received witty confidence by all who know him. w| Read Mayor Brenton’s Frank Letter. Ss I have used Dr. W. B. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and consider ■B it among the most valuable remedies on the market to-day. BK |B Luckily, I have been in very good health all my life and it is ■fl only very larely that I ever take any kind of medicine. Occasionally it becomes necessary for any man to take some kind of a laxative and stomach remedy and Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best I have ever used. ||gi I like to have a bottle of Syrup Pepsin handy at the house |B to take after I have been attending a banquet. I just take M| about a spoonful of the remedy and then I lie down topeaceful « slumber, confident that I will feel all right in the morning. \® do you more good, but I can say that it helps me along in W the small way I need help occasionally; and if I had worse ftft troubles I have faith enough in the remedy that I would 'ft try it for them.
